What's more important

Have people become vainer these days? Sometimes I wonder which leads to what? Did it start from the need to look good always or did the advancement of technology drive all these? Is it because of that eternal quest for youthful look?

I know a lot of people are into these and it sometimes amuses me and amazes me how much they are willing to spend for all these! And they say that people are having hard times with the economy! Just look at all the spas and cosmetic surgeries emerging! They wouldn’t be put up if they didn’t see that there is really a market for this. It can really be such a lucrative industry! Of course, who wouldn’t want to look good given the chance? I guess the real question is how far or rather how much are they willing to spend to achieve the look that they want? Those who are on their way to getting an older look would opt to have a facelift. Those who just can’t seem to lose weight would consider liposuction. Some have even had makeup tattoos on so that they can always have that all made up look even if they have just woken up.

I think, more than anyone, it’s the actors and actresses who are more inclined to have all these procedures done since they are pressured to keep a certain image. There are a lot of them rumored to have a beverly hills cosmetic surgery while some a california liposuction. Well, they do have the money so there’s really no stopping them from trying to improve themselves.

As for those who can’t afford these luxuries, don’t fret. These are just physical attributes. In the big picture, what’s more important is your personality and character. That should be all our main focus. On the judging day and we stand in front of God, it’s not our physicality that He is going to look at, but what good we have done while we were still living.
